Re: Nanook Nation 2014-2015

Talk about losers, your selfish team may have cost the conference a third team in the tourney by being ranked so low when you beat Bowling Green. Way to go. Way. To. Go.

We are sorry about, but I know UA_ did their part and didn't beat them.

Sean Cahill.

That is all.

Also, one point of curiosity: Is that the first time we've ever shut out Anchorage in Anchorage?

Good job boys.
Do it again tonight and you'll have a shot (or three) at the Cup and probably a good chance to place fourth in conference standings.

Re: Nanook Nation 2014-2015

Nanooks defensive game was on point last night. Cahill did make some critical saves so I am sure it'll be another good game tonight. UAA skated pretty well but nothing seemed to connect for them, hoping that happens again!

I'm still on the road so haven't been following any Nook news. Did Parayko even get on the same plane as the rest of the team Saturday night or was he flying first class to St. Louis.

I would expect he leaves, but there are also good reasons to return. It would be nice to see him on a bigger college stage next year.

All quiet on that front so far, at least publicly. I, along with everybody else, hope he's back. If he anchors our defense again we have a chance to be really good next year.

No news yet. It sure would be nice to have him stay. Most of the offense is coming back, but we are losing Campbell and Kaiser. Both of whom had double digit points this year. Losing parayko will make the hole on defense even bigger, not to mention Cahill leaving also.

I hope that he stays. Parayko makes the WCHA better. It was really something watching him decide that he could jump into the play in Huntsville —*it felt like there were two of him on the ice.

I knew it going into this weekend but UAA had no answer for him. It was the first time I really paid close attention to it in person, but there was nothing they could do. If he wanted to get a Seawolf off a puck, he simply moved them off the puck. It was kind of remarkable.

He could certainly use another season to hone his skills at the college level; I think he would be a better pro player as a result. But I could certainly see the Blues deciding that he's not going to get a whole lot more competition at this level and making the call.

That was a nice goal from parayko on Friday from the red line! Too bad someone was offsides. I like watching him in the shootout too, but it's nice they didn't need him.

Brandon Morley was offsides on that play. Probably lucky for UAA it didn't count. I think the wheels would have really come off if they actually allowed a goal like that.

I remember Dan Cloutier let one like that in when the Canucks were playing the Red Wings in the playoffs probably close to 15 years ago...I don't think he ever got over it.
